SAT - Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Trauma Study Section

The Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Trauma Study Section (SAT) reviews applications examining the complementary disciplines of surgery and anesthesiology, traumatic and acute injury, and surgical critical care. Sepsis and injury studies reviewed by SAT often address the host response to such complex insults as trauma, severe infection, or surgical stress, with a general focus on metabolic, hormonal, cellular, or immune responses of the host to these various insults. SAT also reviews applications examining the basis of interventions including mechanisms of anesthesia/analgesia, wound repair, organ recovery, and cellular and immunological therapies. Topics related to anesthesiology and surgical critical care are comprehensively reviewed.
